One shouldn't complain considering that Linux and FF are open source, provided free of charge, and are by and large very good pieces of software. Nevertheless, since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04, I've had numerous sound issues, some program issues, and it's a shot in the dark whether a solution is available or not. Plus, I'm updated to death constantly. Everyday when I come home, there are 12 - 30 + updates it wants to download.

FF3 is the same deal. The add-ons I had with FF2 aren't compatible, some themes don't work anymore (like the redshift theme), scrolling on some sites is slower than hell, and then to top it off, it does dumb **** like defaulting into offline mode and auto closing after a download.

Posting here was a final option. I've researched for a few weeks, and nothing worked. I just removed FF3 and went back to FF2, and perhaps much later, when FF3 is ironed out, I'll upgrade. As for the OS itself, I'm going to plan on staying 1 or maybe even 2 versions behind, so that I know the upgrades are done updating and are stable. I'll maybe upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10 when 9.10 is coming out.

Make sure if you remove FF3 and revert to FF2, to remove the .mozilla directory from your home folder completely. Then install FF2.
